Howard U. Exchange Student Received Unfriendly Reception
Subject
Howard Exchange Student denounces efficacy of exchange program
Description
As of 1964, when this Bucknellian article is published, Barbara Beach is the first student to take advantage of the Bucknell-Howard Exchange program since Martha F. Brooks came from Howard to Bucknell in 1959. Howard University is a historically black educational institution in Washington, D.C. that was founded in 1867. After her experience, Martha wrote this letter, published in the Bucknellian both that year and five years later, stating that Bucknell is not ready for this type of exchange program. She did not have a welcoming and positive experience at Bucknell, and the writer republishing this letter 5 years later points out that this is only part of the reason Bucknell has a bad reputation among black students.
